Next day , Rong Xinghe reached Country Cafe to meet Xi Yuan. They had planned to have brunch there. And to her surprise , the man was already waiting for her.Xi Yuan was ordering Rong Xinghe"s coffee when she approached him from behind. She couldn"t express how relieved she was that he had returned back safe and sound. Sometimes , even she couldn"t understand herself. A woman as fierce as her had suddenly started to feel blissful by every little thing about the man.
Xi Yuan turned around with the coffee cups in both his hands. But as soon as he turned , the little lady devil of the six men startled him with the ages old prank ,"Bow !"
The man was really taken aback by the girl"s actions. Couldn"t she simply greet him in a gentle manner ? Then again , how could one distinguish between the legendary prankster Rong Xinghe and an ordinary person if she wouldn"t pull off such tricks every now and then ?
As she looked at the frozen man after laughing her heads off , Rong Xinghe cheekily smiled and placed her hands on the man"s shoulder ," Are you alive , Mr. RichXi ?"
It was now that Xi Yuan came out of his trance and looked at the girl from top to bottom. He needed to ensure that she hadn"t caused any trouble when he was away. Thankfully , she was in one piece.
The man quickly placed the two coffee cups on the counter and pulled the girl into his embrace tightly ,"I missed you , Xinghe !"
Rong Xinghe was slightly stunned by the man"s swift actions but after sometime , she started feeling his warmth as well. She patted the man"s back delicately as she whispered in a soft voice ,"I missed you too..."
"Huh ?!", Xi Yuan looked at the girl with a shocked expression.
Rong Xinghe bit her tongue as she realized what she had mumbled subconsciously. The girl thought that he didn"t heard her clearly , so she smiled ,"I said let"s have coffee or it will cool down."
The girl quickly picked up the two coffees and and rushed towards an empty table hurriedly.
As the man saw the woman"s fl.u.s.tered expression , his lips curled up in amus.e.m.e.nt. She was so cute when she tried to hide something as deep as that.
She missed him too ! That was his biggest achievement so far...
The man simply pretended that he didn"t listened to what she had said earlier. She was eventually going to say that out loud one day. Why to rush then ?

"...So Rong Family was the real culprit behind the accident and you have stripped them off their last bit of luxury by taking over the Rong empire. You know that this decision of yours was intensely cruel , right ? ", Xi Yuan laughed when he heard what havoc she had caused in the past few days in the nation. She had literally flipped the entire Rong Empire upside down !
"When are my decisions not cruel ?", Rong Xinghe smiled.
"Actually , they deserved that , so it wasn"t really too barbaric. You handled the situation the same way I would"ve had done if I"d been in your position. But won"t this be tiring for you ?", the man asked worriedly.
"Maybe."
"I will help you with it."
"Hmm ?"
"I have established many different companies from the root. Rong Empire is no different. You want to introduce the most developed software to the world and that will definitely be challenging. I will simply help you from the sidelines and provide you with the ideas. Is it fine ?", Xi Yuan proposed.
"Yuan... I would like to decline. Rong Empire was set up by my dad. You know I would have accepted this help if it was about Zhi or Lu corporations. But this is the legacy pa.s.sed onto me by my parents. I want to prove to them that they didn"t trusted the wrong person with their hardwork. I will take this business to the pinnacle myself. Its just...", the girl refused to the man"s help.
Xi Yuan smiled as he looked at the woman in front of him. She hadn"t seen her parents since she was two and she still cared about them so much. How could there be a person as pure as her ?
"Alright then. I won"t get involved. But you will at least listen to the ideas , right ? Now that is just a basic trait of a businesswoman.", the man laughed again.
"Do I look like an idiot who would turn down the opinions of Business King Xi Yuan ?!", the girl chuckled. It was good that he wasn"t offended over it.
"So... do I have the permission to see the Military Chief Rong Xinghe"s little niece ?", the man stood up after their brunch.
Rong Xinghe smiled and nodded her head vigorously ,"Alix is the cutest baby ever , Yuan !"
"Of course she is ! She has Senior Lu and your sister-in-law Ningtao"s genes inside her , after all."

"Where are the files I placed here on my table yesterday ?! ", Mo Zixuan fumed up at the cleaners in his office ," Do you know how important they were ? Find it ! "
One of the cleaners raised up his trembling hands and replied ," Sir , I think Old man Shei cleaned your office yesterday. He isn"t here today but I saw him take some files to the store room. I will go and search for them there now."
Mo Zixuan waved his hands in disagreement ," You won"t be able to identify them. I will go and check myself."
As soon as Mo Zixuan stepped into the dusty store room , he realized that someone else was there as well. The person was organising a book shelf there and it seemed like the lady was searching for something too. The moment the lady sensed the man"s presence , she turned around to look at who it was.
When Mo Zixuan realized that it was Cheng Tai , the first thing he did was to check the door he had entered through.
And as expected , it was locked !
How could he forget the existence of second lady devil in his office ? Rong Xiao , that brat !
....
Meanwhile , Rong Xiao smiled as she hid the key to the storeroom in her pocket.
She then took out a 1000 rmb note from her pocket and pa.s.sed it to the cleaner who had misguided Mo Zixuan about the files being in the storeroom.
Ha ! Rong Xinghe"s plans never failed.
Mo Zixuan"s news bulletin was at 8 p.m. that night and it was just 1 p.m. currently. She had no plans to open this room for these seven hours.
She would love to see for exactly how long he was going to avoid this conversation with Cheng Tai.
Mo Zixuan had the habit of avoiding problems and he hated to face the things he was confused about. But relations.h.i.+ps like these needed patience and strength to listen to the other person.
The Rong twins had no issues with their breakup. They simply didn"t wanted their brother to live in regret for all his life. Even if Mo Zixuan and Cheng Tai were destined to separate , it was better for them to be clear about each other"s standpoint , past and feelings before that happened.
They understood that Cheng Tai and Mo Zixuan were mature adults but sometimes , some relations.h.i.+ps simply needed that one push and given Mo Zixuan"s lack of initiation , he was never going to talk with Cheng Tai himself. After this conversation , the Rong sisters weren"t going to push their brother into making any decision anyway.
